Job says, "Surely there is a vein for silver; the earth hath dust of gold." In the book of Daniel there is an account of the great image which Nebuchadnezzar set up on the plains of Dura, three score cubits in height and six cubits in breadth.

The latter shoots Donny Mann, whom he mistakes for another in the dim light, and saves the Colleen Bawn by a "header" into the water.
